I think you'll find that this is the problem. Cygwin B20.1 isn't
thread-safe out of the box. The latest version of Cygwin has some
alpha level thread-safety which is not turned on by default.

Ultimately, because it aims at providing a comprehensive POSIX
environment, Cygwin will include it's own Posix threads support.
Therefore, pthreads-win32 is targeting mainly at environments that
link with the MSCRTL.

(I hope this is basically correct.)
